Ebook: Digital Converters for Image Sensors

This book is intended for image sensor professionals and those interested in the boundary between sensor systems and analog and mixed-signal integrated circuit design. It provides in-depth tips and techniques necessary to understand and implement these two types of complex circuit systems together for a wide variety of architectures or trade off one against another. The tutorial begins with a brief introduction to the history and definition of a digital image sensor, as well as converter characteristics, before addressing DAC and ADC architectures. Later chapters cover pipeline ADC designs, digital correction, calibration, and testing according to IEEE standards.
